It started with an urge to play with sound, a DIY synth, and a desire to know more. After several years buried in books, manuals and patch cables, JakoJako was performing her first live sets around Berlin, and spending every spare penny on Eurorack modules. The passion became all consuming, and in 2017, she left her nursing career to work at the legendary Berlin synth shop Schneidersladen, where’s she’s been sharing her knowledge of tools and techniques with the city’s music makers ever since. 

Technique is no use without ideas to apply it to, and fortunately JakoJako has a natural supply. “When you hear a sound in the environment, say a car passing by, you don’t appreciate the complexity until you think how you might synthesise it.” She explains. “Then it becomes something abstract; a collection of modulated pitches and timbres. I love to listen to the world like this..”

Her approach may seem studious, but JakoJako uses this fluency in the language of sound to convey emotion, and each track is an experiment, with success based on the intensity of feeling it creates. Her debut EP “Aequilibration”, released in 2019 on Leisure System Records, showcased this explorative mindset, with four very different stylistic ideas tied together through emotive sound design, sharp production, and a strong sense of melody. 

The release was followed by a string of live gigs, performed with her modular system and Elektron boxes, including a release party at Berghain, playing a standout set alongside Ben UFO and Marie Davidson. 

With regular events disappearing in 2020, live music migrated online, finding a global audience in shared experience of isolation. After streaming a live set for HÖR Radio, she was invited to take part in an online event for Arté, hosted by Innervisions and United We Stream, alongside Amé and Frank Wiedermann. This led to a filmed live performance in her studio for Fact Magazine’s Patch Notes series, and an in-depth video feature for Electronic Beats, which together have over half a million views (and counting).

Offline, JakoJako has made good use of the time in her studio, producing tracks on compilations for B-Pitch Control and Figure Records, remixes for Crouds on Intumi, and most recently, for New Order on Mute Records. More solo work is in the pipeline too, including a new EP for Leisure System Records, due in mid  2021.

Unleash Your Energy proudly presents its Mix & Unleash series! 

Welcome to the latest episode of our weekly transmissions.
Don't press play expecting to hear an ordinary dj set cause we are not going to give you that. 
Once again it's time to break free from the typical sound that you have been enjoying lately. 
To help us in our constant exploration for something new and interesting we invited in the series an artist that has a very singular voice and so far has managed to create an electronic universe completely his own. 

Here comes Ryan James Ford from Calgary, Canada with a special mix that he recorded for us filled 100% with the artist's original material.
It's a unique musical journey of mind bending melodies, unconventional tunings, unique drum kits creating polyrhytmic code-like patterns & highly unusual sample-based sounds & synthesised waveforms that can open a portal to a new dimension if they are analyzed & deciphered. 

The gateway is open.

The mission is to reprogram your mind.
Your orders are to embrace the unknown.  
Ready to join us on the other side? 

This is the sound of Calgary.   
Enjoy the singular wave of Energy!

RYAN JAMES FORD - Sound of Calgary  / Mix & Unleash 027

Hailing from Holland’s West Coast, JEANS is a powerhouse behind the decks with an uncanny ability to commandeer the dance floor with his characteristic free-flowing style. Anything goes and nothing is what it seems as he rifles through his audacious selections while manipulating the pitch faders in every which way. Nobody’s safe from the ‘Ice Cream Man’ when he gets going like an unstoppable train laying down face melting bass blasters, techno bangers, breakbeat filth, vivid trance and anything else that gets the job done. However, don’t be fooled by his mischievous smile because he’s got a tender side too and when you least expect it, he will drop some cosmic ambient or laid-back dub reggae on you and it will be exactly what you need at that moment.

Emerging from The Hague’s hardcore and jungle scene with a deep love for Memphis-rap, Dub and Raggamuffin, JEANS ultimately expanded into the realms of tekno, techno, breakbeat, psy, goa and electro but stays noticeably true to his roots in his sets. His tenacity to push the limits and willingness to challenge the crowd has gained him widespread praise, a residency at Het Magazijn and the role of head booker at PIP Den Haag. He spends his downtime jamming on drum machines and producing in his studio and he raised his own label named 'Oracle Bones' which is inspired by books of the the I Ching.
With a tongue-in-cheek attitude and always on the grind, JEANS is not to be underestimated.

The 126th FrenzyPodcast, and second of the ’22 Summer Series is provided by Yonti, hailing from Tel-Aviv and recently relocated in Berlin. Focusing on atmospheric raw techno and dark rolling beats, his sets are a display of momentum and tension building. Shifting from heavy cuts to funky minimalistic loops and always keeping the energy high characterize the sound of Yonti. Besides his noticeable skills as a DJ, which got him to play at many parties in - and outside of his hometown, including the infamous Snax and Klubnacht in Berghain, Yonti had a significant influence in Tel-Aviv’s techno scene as the owner of Alphabet Club and Phi Garden, that brought to the city a fresh breath of queer parties. 

For Frenzy, Yonti created a one hour mix where he display his fine taste for track selection and mixing skills. Don’t miss out on the sound of Yonti, enjoy!

LT Podcast 243 // Blue Hour

DJ/psychotherapist Vincent Neumann is back for his second Bassiani broadcast with as much spark as ever. Known for frequent techno sprints at his home away from home Distillery (as well as Berghain), his no-frills, achromatic sets are well documented. A little less known are his forays into a side of electronic music characterised by levity, jacking 90s stompers, italo hits and shuffling house. This one falls into the second category. Bassiani Podcast 143 is a chipper, catchy three-hour quest from the Unitas Multiplex label boss, recorded live at Horoom.
